Is it normal to be affected so powerfully by music?

I feel like a lot of people have this "Issue" shall we call it, but music always has such an impact on me. It's almost like the vibe of the song governs my mood at the time. For example: If anyone watches Dexter, the Blood Theme always triggers an intense thought pattern - a meditation of sorts- along with a certain aura of mischievousness. Conversely, the song Change by Blind Melon will ALWAYS make me happy and positive. No matter how bad my mood. Like I said, I think anyone who loves music is like this, so I don't think I'm an exception. Just looking for feedback =)

    music definitely has a huge connection and affect on mood. i listen to certain songs when i am in certain moods. music can be thrilling too if you just sit and listen. i will also associate a song with a certain memory or time that i had. like whenever "electric feel" comes on by MGMT i always replay in my mind staying the summer with my friend and going swimming and tubing. i feel the same emotions like i'm reliving it through the song. or a song makes me think of a certain person and i feel connected to them. i think this is pretty normal

    I hear you, and I love music more than anyone could know, but it honestly has no affect on my mood. I listen to death metal when I'm in a good mood and happy, carefree Japanese pop when I'm pissed. Haha

    I don't know those songs (and I'm currently on a soundless computer, so I can't check them out), but I know the feeling when you're absolutely pissed for some reason, then you play a happy song, and suddenly you're happy ^^
    Basicly saying: that = normal

    I think it's normal. That's a good song anyway but sometimes I use songs to alter my mood. Cold desert by Kings of Leon is something I listen to every day. I am moved by it... Pretty normal..
